Soon enough he’ll be alone on Revis Island watching the NFL on TV…..whatever he needs to do…

As sad as it is the Jets will probably retire his number one day…..

Dude obviously has unquestioned talent…but he’s a true headcase.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:48:52 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213712I really don’t understand all the hate that is being shown toward Revis. He held out twice with the JETS and they caved and gave him more money . . . the only leverage a player has in the NFL is to hold out . . . the BUCS traded for him just last year with the existing contract, knowing it was $16M a year. Now the BUCS want to renegotiate, but they aren’t a very good team. Why would Revis agree to negotiate solely with one team, when free agency creates an open market where all 32 teams will set the price for Revis. Maybe the BUCS will offer the most in the open market and resign him, maybe they will offer the most and he will choose to go to another team, maybe another team will offer more than the BUCS are willing to pay . . . any way you look at it, why would anyone expect a player to limit themselves, especially when there is a market that exists for that player. Most times when a player re-structures their contract, it is to get more money via a conversion to bonus money, in the short term (1 or 2 years) and the end result helps the team with cap space, but those are typically players that are 30+ years old, with limited interest in the open market. That isn’t Revis’ situation, he approaches it similar to how the NFL teams do, it’s business first and a game second. I understand fans are emotional, but NFL players have short shelf lives and usually non-garuanteed contracts . . . he shouldn’t be faulted for seeking an avenue to free agency. By the way, the JETS never had to give him new contracts, they opted to . . . if he was way out of line with his monetary demands then they should have cut him, let him go to market and purchased his services at a lower cost, but has the highest bidder.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:42:49 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213693Obviously Tampa should have never signed him. They just provided him his exit ticket out of the Jets. Maybe he is doing this to get to choose his next team and not necessarily setting that 16 M in stone his demand. One would hope so because at this point 16 M is excessive for his production. He will most likely sign for 12 from the team he wants.

Revis says as tears are welling up in his eyes and his voice cracks…”It was never about the money, it about being respected” wipes the fake tears away from his eyes.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:37:50 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213663Good for him, the NFL is a business. Owners and GMs dont think twice about cutting a player when its no longer beneficial to them. You can easily get injured, and you are putting your body on the line every week. So why not get paid as much as you possibly can. Why should teams have all the leverage? if they offered him 16MM then he shouldnt have to lower that figure so they can trade him easily.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:35:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213643bigblu,

Its nice to hear that there are still decent people out there. I understand your point. i personally haven’t bashed Revis, but for some reason he just rubs me the wrong way, and I think that may be the case with a lot of other people. There is something to be said about maxing out, but at what cost? i would want to max out if I were in that situation, but I would also want to put myself in a good situation as well. It just seems like Revis maxing out is the best situation for him no matter where he lands. If that is what he wants, that is what he wants. more power to him. Big ups for Stephen Baker the touchdown maker.

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be happy about it. Revis isn’t wrong here. Tampa knew the deal a year ago & still agreed to it.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:25:14 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213570Bucs made a VERY bad decision when they made the trade and gave Revis a 16m per year contract. People shouldn’t throw this on Revis – he made clear he was about the money….so why act surprised he is unwilling to take a pay cut now?

He knows Bucs are in for a couple rebuild seasons, so why would he want to stay except for the money?

When Mevis heard about the salary cap jump, he wanted to renegotiate for more money.

The officials let them get away with it because ESPN says they are “shut down” corners. Sherman admitted that he holds people along with the rest of the seahawks defense. All great defenses are allowed to hold. Thats just the way it is. Thats how they become great defenses. Revis holds the piss out of people. He’s not that good.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:02:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213460Smartest man in the NFL. See Steve Smith for the “what about the team loyalty” crowd. If you are a player past his rookie deal (not a QB) and aren’t taking the approach that your career is year to year, and you need to be looking for the highest payday possible at all times, you’re an idiot.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:02:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2248023#comment-3213459I can’t believe people get so upset about a undoubtedly phenomenally talented player getting the most $$$ possible. This is business, period point blank. Ofcourse Five Guys burgers could sell their burgers for the same price as McDonalds, but why would they? Did you ever think while your in line at “fill in the blank stadium” that ofcourse its the same exact 16 oz Budweiser yet you pay 4X as much? Ofcourse the owner of the team could set the prices of the concession stands much cheaper but why would they when people are willing and able to pay the inflated price? I find it repulsive that some fans get all “butt hurt” over a player that 9-10 times came from very humble beginnings wanting to max out on their earning potential. People call it selfish, ridiculous, etc.. Not taking into account how many peoples lives(family and friends) these atheletes are able to positively effect. I experienced it 1st hand! While I was a Freshmen in High School a guy named Stephen Baker moved into one of the buildings in my complex. He happened to play for the Giants(#85 WR) he took me under his wing(I grew up in a single-parent household) and began to mentor me. He knew that I was interested in RC cars(radio controlled) but I didn’t have very much $ at the time. He bought me my 1st RC car, a RC 10 for those who know what that is!LOL He also took the time to help me build my car, as well as school me on how to race. He also took me to “giants camp” during the summers and gave me tickets as often as I wanted to the home games. My point is, because he made good $ he was able to be a blessing to others. I wish instead of downing players for making a lot of $$$ some folks will look at it as multiple blessings that will find its way to many people that are in need. The owners for the most part are not 1st generation money, they have always lived in opulence. You would think that people would be offended by their greed, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The Bucs aren’t willing to pay $16 mil. They’re probably willing to pay like half of it. And the team he signs with will likely pay more than $8 mil.
